In Reply to: Does anyone own a Shur Strike box stamped 1800 or 1900? posted by Alan B. Celoria [100.7.92.77] on Monday, March 24, 2025 at 6:51PM :
With the help of John Egan, I've discovered this Shur Strike 5-Hooker INTRO (yellow w/black print) box stamped 1802 (Red Head, White Body) which verifies my above conclusion that when Creek Chub discontinued their Series 1800 Underwater Spinner Minnow in 1933 they added it to their new Shur Strike line of economy lures.
Now I'm looking for a Shur Strike 3-Hooker INTRO (yellow w/black print) stamped with a 1900 number ... OR a Shur Strike Green & White box stamped with a 1900 number ... OR Shur Strike Blue & White box stamped with a 1900 number. Got one? Please let me know!

P.S. Creek Chub did the same with their Series 3300 Sarasota ... that is discontinuing it from their Creek Chub line in 1933 and adding it to their Shur Strike line (calling it Style J) ... it appears they did the same with other discontinued Creek Chub lures in the mid/late 1930s as well.
